What People Like Most About the Festival

“I love being outside watching a professional production of Shakespeare. I always donate but I love that anyone can come who might not normally come to such an event. My daughters love Shakespeare. Although we’ve enjoyed indoor productions, there is something magical about a warm summer night that heightens the experience. Our whole family loves the festival."

“The quality of the production, the atmosphere, the across the board appeal for all people – it’s great that all people can enjoy the classics.”

“It’s free! That means a lot to parents on a budget.”

“It makes Shakespeare accessible to families.”

“That it is a cultural event outdoors, that it’s safe and not too stuffy.”
